Does Cefuroxime Taken For Ear Infection Cause Lightheadedness,loss In Sense Of Balance And Sore Neck?
Hi Doctor Grief I went to doctor she gave an antibiotic cefuroxime I have been taking this is my second day. I have to take it for 10 days She said I have an ear infection. I have been feeling light heading and off balance. Will this go away. She took some tests and said my balance is fine, I feel a little lightheaded. My neck also f3els sore

hello. generally the antibiotic should not cause this type of complaints, rather the light headedness ad off balance may be due to the ear infection itself. please dont worry, avoid straining and take rest. you will recover soon. thanks
